It's pretty clear what's happening if you look here:
https://review.openstack.org/#/q/owner:openstack-infra%2540lists.openstack.org+status:open
Here's the drastic step (i'd like to avoid):
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/303545/
is it actually affecting anything in the community aside from the
reviews being useless. aside from the 'diversity' tags in governance,
does anything else use stackalytics?
Although I feel like there has been less of that over the last few
releases, Stackalytics is where the press (and some companies) point to
to find out who the "#1 OpenStack company" is, or what a particular
company rank is in the contributions list.
On http://www.openstack.org/software/mitaka/ you can click "Contributor
stats" which points to: http://stackalytics.com/?release=mitaka -- and
by default this shows Reviews stats (which are the easiest to game).
Maybe it's time to revert back to "Commits" as the default stat shown on
Stackalytics ? At least for a while ?
The only protection against metrics being gamed is to change them often
enough... I'm also a big fan of original retrospective analysis, where
you look at past data and find interesting metrics (rather than
predefine a metric for future data and hope nobody will game it).
